About Demon's Rise - War for the Deep
Enter the depths of the ancient city of Angor and prepare for battle. Form a mercenary party of adventurers, sell swords, rogue sorcerers and assassins and enlist with an army of Dwarves trying to retake their ancient homeland. Fight in a brutal campaign against goblins, undead, ratmen and the demon lords they worship.
Demon's Rise is a turn-based tactical game where players must lead a party of six heroes through the bowels of an underground city. Battles are intense affairs where the proper use of terrain and cover is as important as the choice of spell or attack.
BATTLES: Fight through 85 grueling levels ... a 35 level linked campaign and 50 patrol missions.
CHARACTERS: Choose a band of six heroes from 30 playable character classes. Each class has unique strengths, weaknesses and special abilities.
REWARDS: Uncover the treasures of the old kingdom ... find gold or thousands of possible weapons, pieces of armour and artifacts. Equip them to make your heroes stronger or sell them off and buy something more fitting.
EXPERIENCE: As your heroes fight, they gain experience, level up and unlock powerful new spells and abilities.
COVER / TERRAIN: Position is key to victory. Place your heroes behind cover for protection or next to a magical shrine for extra power.
MORALE: Your heroes and their enemies may panic when they see the battle go badly or enter a berserker fury if they see an ally cut down. Form a tight battle line where your stronger heroes can lend courage to the weaker ones and use intimidation as a weapon against your foes.
ABILITIES: Wizards can launch fireballs, cast protective wards or summon powerful monsters to their aid. Illusionists can trick their enemies into switching sides or make them panic without reason. Mighty warriors can make powerful weapon strikes, become berserk or heal themselves during battle. All 30 player classes and many of the enemies you will encounter can perform such abilities and can use them to turn defeat into victory.
Demon's Rise - War for the Deep is a traditional game with NO IN-APP PURCHASES or unfair "pay to win" mechanics. Victory is earned through courage, strength and tactics and not additional spending.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
I couldn't recommend it. It is a good amount of content for the price, and there is an interesting variety of character/class types, but it is lacking compared to other tactics games. I would suggest looking at something like Fell Seal, XCOM, BattleTech, Warhammer 40000 Gladius, Disgaea, Warborn, Monster Sanctuary, Monster Train, Into the Breach, or Banner Saga instead, all of which can often be found on sale for close to the same price. Card Hunter or Warbands Bushido are also similar and free. +Wide range of characters/classes +Choose a party of 6 +Variety of abilities +Variety of equipment +Speed up toggle +Difficulty adjustment +Can repeat missions for XP/gold -Barebones options -Very minimal story/background -No key rebinding -Tooltips/info often lacking -No visible turn order -Autosave only -No way to choose formation/starting layout -No voiced dialogue/narration -Speed toggle is not saved / must adjust every battle4 found this helpful
Playdough-like graphics, torpid gameplay, and an interface that only an asset-flipper could love; Demon's Rise should have never left the mobile platform.2 found this helpful
Believe it or not, "Demon's Rise - War for the Deep" is not an asset flip. While the game is made primarily out of other people's assets, with placeholder/stock assets and engine elements all taken from asset stores, the developer credited the people who created those assets, which means this isn't the usual attempt to pass of someone else's work as their own. However, while we understandably must call out and warn gamers about the unethical behaviour behind plagiarism and asset flipping, there's the other main reason we hate asset flips (even if this isn't exactly one). It's because they're awful if you try to take them seriously as a game. This is because, and it should be no surprise, when "developers" can't work out how to create their own professional game assets, or lack the budget to hire staff who can, it turns out they're also not really capable or competent at any of the other parts of game development either. And that results in awful games. Games like "Demon's Rise - War for the Deep". "Demon's Rise - War for the Deep" is a Nintendo Switch game, not a PC game. It's not a great port and suffers from a few technical defects from the handheld gaming centric design.…1 found this helpful
There's the bones of a decent game in here, but just buried beneath bugs.
is really boring and mundane. don't waste your time
Really enjoyable, low stress turn based game.
